Those pillows are disgusting. Using them when they were free was a stretch, having to pay for one is out of the question.

True. I didn't even consider that. Though, at $7/pop, they probably won't get much use.

For seven dollars I would need a nice set of boobs to lie my sleepy head on.

I don't know that you would want the boobs that $7 would get you...

I never sleep when I fly...so this is not going to be an issue for me personally. But how sad is it that they have to resort to a $7 pillow...really now.

O yes, and you must please check your email because Kate really cannot handle much more of this and we would hate to see her go. :-P

For the price of an airline ticket and extra $7 is arip off they know it and so does everyone else. There is no end next it will bring your own seat and you will need to rent the stairs to get on the plane

a flight over 6 hours, the $7 is worth the price of a pillow.

Fef to luigi1-... 2008/08/06 01:43:50

maybe they should charge $1/hour rental of pillow usage ;)

They should offer better pillows for free to first class flyers.

That looks a little like the British Airways second caste seat. Only difference is no office and another chair you you may speak to your lovely wife (since Art travels separately) in some peace. What a design though! Flying could be better than the office without all the clutter! Ah, is there sompeplace I could order one of these?

Get your mind out of the gutter. Yes "pillow"
It's true though it's too hard to sleep on airplanes. The last couple times I flew we hit air pockets. It was really bumpy! And now after 9-11 it is in the back of everyones mind what the people went through!YOu have to keep living but it's still there and then there are alot of stories and Plane issues and
do we have enough gas! You know the important stuff that planes can't do with out!

Just pack a small, soft towel (more shape-able) or something in your carry-on. Those little pillows suck ass anyway, I usually have to take 2 to make any sort of difference.

you mean they should just include it in the price of the ticket? Because don't expect anything for free.

Unless I'm flying to Hawaii or somewhere else that takes 8+ hours. And then I'd fly first class, where all the comforts of the castle abound.

But most of us can't afford first class. And now we are approaching NO CLASS. I'm even getting afraid the little toilets you have to wait in line for will soon be a forgotten memory.
